So you find this little, inconsequential tent complex to bomb,
or even an aspirin factory, and then you
convince people you did soooooo much to strike back...

Two US Navy warships are moving towards the coast of Libya, two US officials tell CNN. The destroyers are the USS Laboon and the USS McFaul. Both ships are equipped with tomahawk missiles that could be used if a strike was ordered. Tomahawks are satellite-guided cruise missiles that can be programmed to hit specific targets.

No doubt... they know their jobs... unlike the muzzie in chief.

True; but destroyers are also the advance screen for carrier battle groups (CVBG) and amphibious ready groups (ARG). Those 50 Marines being sent to reinforce security at the US Consulate in Benghazi are probably going to have a heck of a lot of indirect fire support and Marine backup sitting just over the horizon.
Obama the War Monger is going to strike Libya again?
they are going to deliver a really stern letter!
gasp!
The Embassy is in Tripoli.
My dad was the port 5" gunnery officer on the Iowa when his gun crew nailed Wonsan harbor on Sept 23, 1952. It wiped out the communist's winter ammunition supply.
There's an old joke related to that, about a man wearing a tuxedo to get a vasectomy...
Cheers!
Nice to have a Dad you can be proud of!
“.... a bunch of deserted tents will be bombed later this month”
That reminds of a statement of Dubya’s...made shortly after 911 in 2001.....he made it in the Oval Office, and was referring to Willy Jeff Clinton’s feckless cruise missile diversions during the Lewinsky scandals..
“When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.”
He was speaking to a group of Senators in the Oval Office two days after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
It is one of my all time favorite Bushisms...

Anyone who was truly serious would have sent aircraft carriers in addition to destroyers.
Remember stories of the BB`s taking out Tigers on
the Normandy battlefield
This is a sad day for the America we once knew.
This will only make the muzzies feel strong and proud
Oh wait! Those are Russian ships.
Saw a big ammo dump go up once in Quang Tri,we sat
all night with the cooks opening up the mess hall
Your dad and his men enjoyed that show a bunch I bet
Hope he got a commendation for that shot
Too bad no one in the Navy can channel Stephen Decatur.....the Commodore knew how to handle Muzzies.
Bubba is advising Obama on Cruise Missile Diplomacy
Searching for aspirin factories
Who have been recalled for every American war for the past 70 years (except this one)
When for the Same price you could have this!
No?
Well how about this?
The USS Iowa is one.
Now the 2nd?
I just like raining 16 - inch shells down on the Idiots.
